Thread 6 - the one where the shark beds go astray and we try not to eat our chocolate hauls

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title but I'm off to bed in a min (it's been one of those days).

As usual links are on post two.

If I've missed anything good (which could be very likely as I'm getting back to work mode atm) let me know.

Just seen a cactus light on lisa angel that i really want, but it's £45 and even with 15% off i don't think i can justify buying it

For the 2 year old boy
if he has a little bike
Or
DS would love this

Thank you Shopping and Fueled! I will send DH the links in an attempt to prod him into action/ let him think it's all his idea

Hooray I just did my first links the monster books by Sam Lloyd are a huge hit, calm down boris and scary Sid are his favourites. I think for a boy of that age anything tractor/digger/dinosaur/fire engine related would be a hit.
Just remembered I'm buying DS
this for Christmas. They have all the different cars and they drive on water

Woodwaj, eBay for batteries. I buy loads from there!

Please can someone link me to the heated airer? Is there a code? Thank you!

20 AA batteries for £5.40: m.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-DURACELL-INDUSTRIAL-AA-BATTERIES-PROFESSIONAL-ALKALINE-REPLACES-PROCELL-AA-/321645896616?nav=SEARCH

Someone posted some cheap rubber ducks, there were different ones - super hero, Pirates etc - but I can't find the link. Can anybody repost it for me? Thanks!

Play doh crazy cuts also £6.99 at Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/4247711.htm

I don't know how to do short links either

Some other play doh sets reduced too, including Star Wars.

Still waiting for a refund for the blender. No email to apologise or anything, opened a dispute with PayPal now.

RJ one more unicorn question (last one I promise!). Does it go in the washing machine (or indeed fit)? I'm trying to talk myself out of it but this is the clincher. If it's fine in the wash then I may have to get but if it won't fit or isn't suitable then that's a no from me. I'm trying to be practical saying that about a giant unicorn is pretty laughable though .

Chips how can you type with that? Ouch.

Today in answer to yr questions. Where I lived previously we had a lot of condensation in the bathroom and mould on the walls because of this that was forever cleaning. When we used the heated airer in there it helped the issue. I also have a set of flannel bedding from John Lewis and love it. It's a couple of years old now and starting to feel quite rough (like it would if they were well used flannel pjs iykwim). We don't have a table drier though so it could be that would help. I find it lovely and cosy and sleep much better in that set than regular cotton, but it takes longer to dry. I'm not sure if I'm warmer (I use it in summer too) but definitely more snug which might make me think I'm warmer psychologically. I'd definitely buy flannel again.

Wood avoid pound shop batteries. We bought tons of them for huge numbers of battery operated things at dds party and they barely lasted with very low energy uses. Even the decent brand ones.

I little miffed at cornerstones - they have sent an email saying they have charged my account but not saying how much (it should be £4 as I have £10 referral from my mum). So I can't check it is accurate until it shows on my statement. Surely it should be standard practice to send a receipt?

Rae does he have brio style train track? You could get some accessories eg a tunnel or crane

A play doh starter kit

Some wooden Velcro play food that you can cut in half.

Wooden puzzles or a simple jigsaw puzzle

(I'm just listing what is on my wish list for my 2.5 year old DS. I wish my one year old was just as easy- I can't think of a single thing for him).

So keen to get my hands on the Naydia kids baking book on Amazon ( thanks to whoever posted almost paid 2x as much today) I've joined prime by mistake. Is it a mistake? How do I make the most of it? DP will think it's just an excuse to spend more......

rae can't find it any cheaper but i got this for a recent toddler birthday which went down a treat

Reastie I have never had to wash the unicorn but I will check the tag later abd see whether I can fit it into my machine - there's a load on right now.

I seriously want a pony cycle for myself for Christmas. Dh is very indulgent but I suspect he will say no to that (boo hiss)!

ginger that pizza set comes up often in our tkmaxx for about 7quid - worth checking!

Reastie the Argos unicorn is cheaper and slightly smaller that someone just posted on the last page so that might be a better bet?

Thanks Reastie. I will avoid poundland.

Hungryhorice they look great I've ordered from Ebay! Thank you!

Thanks again smurfy ...Weirdly Lakeland Christmas discount never worked for me but on the other hand the voucher code you kindly gave me wutang gave £5 off despite the order being less than £30 so Thankyou both!

I have a few questions!!

What is Gelarti?! Is it too babyish for 9 year olds? What is a reasonable price to pay for it and has anyone ordered from BargainMax?

Thanks for the lisaangel link cavemum. I hadn't seen that site before but bought some lovely bits for friends (and me!)

Just been away for a few days and suffering from bargain thread withdrawal symptoms and I've just sat down with the iPad and a cup of tea and I'm overwhelmed with an urge for a giant unicorn. This thread should come with a health warning.

I should be immune, after the Invasion of the Giant Polar Bear, and the Giant Horse....and the huge floppy dog.

But I just really really need an enormous unicorn.

Oh and does anyone know if bikes are likely to be included in the Argos 3-4-2?
